It may also be a good idea to put in high temp vynil in the speedo if you want to change the colors...

actually i just went to staples ang bought some plastic folders that i cut up to make the color panel in the speedo... i'll probably upgrade it to some higher quality photo gels later. but the cluster is backlit via LEDs now, so it doesnt heat up much at all

bondo-ing and sanding... way more pictures than necessary but here goes anyway

Can't wait to see how this turns out.  More pictures than necessary are appreciated.

I wonder if you could replace all the LEDs for the speedometer to a different color...

Nice! Why do you have two odometers? Wasn't it something about the integrated one not being compatible?

ahhhh i forgot to mention... the s2k odomoter will be blacked out by just using electrical tape over the backlighting for it beneath the s2k cluster glass. i totally forgot to do that thanks for reminding me. the accord odometer is more accurate due to minor errors in the speedo converter box.. and i will also still have my outdoor temp display with the accord odometer

Not bad.  I'm glad to see that you'll be re-working in the future.  I noticed the imperfections you mentioned.  Those shouldn't be too hard to fix though.  A little time sanding should get everything perfectly smooth and pretty.
